The South is a very distinct region in the United States, along with its food. What makes the South stand out from the rest of the United states, is its characteristic accents and foods. Over time southern food has been given the name, “soul food.” Soul food is characterized by the heavy use of high-calorie lard and other fats. This style is often attributed to the influence of the African-American slave population, though it draws on a mix of African influences as well as Native American, Scots-Irish, and others. Southern fried chicken, vegetables cooked in lard or other fat, black-eyed peas, cornbread, and biscuits are just a few examples of foods typically put into this broad category. Barbecue is a food typically associated with the South; however, it is also heavily favored and common throughout the Midwest.
